As most decent to good drivers know, that there are a lot of aggressive drivers on the road that tailgate, as they get angry if anyone is impeding their travel. But, what is not recognized by the majority of tailgaters is that we're pack animals. There is always a hierarchy within the pack.

The majority of tailgaters do it because they're lonesome. They need to be close to others, to be with a crowd, and to be recognized. These people, the majority of drivers on the road, need companionship, a friend and that it's merely a manifestation of their insecurity and inferiority complex. They drive in packs like wolves. When one of these drivers see cars up ahead, he must catch up to them, so he can be part of a crowd to soothe his loneliness.

There are three types of drivers that form the pack. The leader is happy because he has a lot of friends following him. Of course, that's not true as he knows none of them and they don't know him, but to him, subconsciously, he's the leader, the nice guy.

The middle group of cars are driven by people who are just satisfied to be part of the pack. They at least feel that they belong.

The cars in the rear are driven by followers. Those that don't have a lot of self-confidence, but, at least, feel that they are part of the crowd; therefore, at least, feel a sense of being accepted.

The mature driver, on the other hand, drives between the packs. It is done without conscious thought. He just knows, subconsciously, that he is comfortable by himself. Even on a busy highway, I find myself most often driving by myself. I can see a dozen or more cars a thousand feet ahead of me and the same pack of cars far behind me. One time, I drove from Hartford, CT to Philadelphia, PA through NYC on Thanksgiving and didn't encounter more than a dozen cars.

Welcome to my site.
Two days ago my site has been getting a visitor from "Unknown Region." On my site is a list of 107
countries. I know where they are, but where is "Unknown Region?" Are you in the North Pole, or at
the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station? If you're from outer space, that would be real cool!
"Unknown Region," was mentioned in the Star War movies, but it also refers to some vast areas on earth that are not specifically identified. Some of these could certainly pertain to Northern Alaska or Siberia in Russia. Whether you wish to divulge your location, or your general location on earth is entirely up to you.
Whether you do or not, you're still more than welcome to visit my site anytime. If you tell me, please advise whether I have your permission to divulge it or to keep it a secret. Or, you may put it on this site by clicking on the title and the Comments section will appear.
Thank you,

But the five burly police officers of Valdosta State University couldn't find a better way to resolve the issue than to slam a female United States Air Force veteran to the ground and arrest her. -- Retired LEO.https://lnkd.in/dZAzg5W

So England doesn't like the US recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Imagine that!

I thought this might give you a betterunderstanding of the insidiousness of Hijrah, that's the takeover of a nation without going to war.

Don't think for a moment that America is not a target or that there are no American cities where Islamic and Sharia victories and takeovers have already occurred. It's time for border control, or start planning for a very big goodbye to the American way of life… Here's what has already happened to England within a few years of opening their borders without any entry control:

How the British have passively succumbed to the Muslim invasion:

Mayor of London … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Birmingham … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Leeds … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Blackburn … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Sheffield … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Oxford … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Luton … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Oldham … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Rochdale … MUSLIM.

All the following achieved by just four million Muslims out of the 66 million population:

Over 3,000 Muslim Mosques,

Over 130 Muslim Sharia Courts,

Over 50 Muslim Sharia Councils,

Muslims Only No-Go Areas across the U K,

Muslim Women … 78% don't work and are on FREE benefits / housing,

Muslim Men … 63% don't work and are on FREE benefits / housing,

Muslim Families … six to eight children planning to go on FREE benefits / housing and now all UK schools are ONLY serving HALAL MEAT.

… and we (the U S A) and (CANADA) can't decide on an immigration policy… ?

One of the ways to combat this is to keep circulating information such as this e-mail around our United States and Canada to inform the uninformed who mainly only listen and read the left leaning U S and Canadian radio / TV and newspapers. I have not seen this in the U S

Going to the store and back, I traveled
on the same winding, mountain road. Absolutely no cars within two to
three miles in either direction; except for stupid.

Going, a truck started tailgating me,
so I slowed down to give him the message. He eventually did, but the
rest of the way he got close and then backed off, close, then backed
off, nearly a dozen times. The road is two lanes with no
passing-zones, so he couldn't go anyplace or any faster than I was
going.

On my way back there was an SUV behind
me that kept a safe, constant distance all the way. Here is one
idiot that speeds up, then brakes, speeds up, then brakes. How
uncomfortable is that kind of driving? The other driver just fell
comfortably behind me and we did the eight miles in about 10 minutes.
In other words, I don't impede traffic.

It's far more comfortable following
someone than to lead, as the one following can observe the front car,
and therefore, is helped in his driving. Years ago while traveling
on a fog covered, slippery road at night for about a 100 miles, I
tagged up with another car. We both knew that leading in that kind
of condition is very tiring, so we leapfrogged each other every 15-20
minutes to help each other out. If you're a good driver you can
easily spot another one, and without communicating, both just know
what to do.

Conservative
activist Kaitlin Bennett, grassroots director of Liberty Hangout and
recent Kent State University graduate, attracted controversy when she
posted a picture of herself on social media sporting her graduation
attire and one of those scary “black rifles,” in this case an
AR-10. But when she followed this up with a picture on Twitter
holding two pistols, captioned, “If I had a pistol for every gender
there is,” the social media site suspended her account for
“violating our rules against abusive behavior.”

Did Twitter
also suspend the accounts of the users who tweeted death threats to
her or encouraged her to kill herself? Not so much, according to
NewsBusters: Messages such as “Take that gun off your hip, put it
to your head, then squeeze,” failed to generate any punishment.

Given the
asymmetry of Twitter's response, it's hard to see this as a
corporation that supposedly supports free speech taking a political
side. Bennett wasn't harassing anyone, but those who harassed her
were given free rein to do so.

The young
activist asked followers on Facebook to “let the world know Twitter
does not welcome Conservatives on their platform.”

This phenomenon has been known by me
for years, but it only recently came to my attention again. An
18-wheel truck driver on Facebook mentioned that a young man drove
under his truck and was killed in the accident. I could deduce by
his Post that he felt that he was partially responsible and that he
felt sorrowful about the incident. Decent people do feel sorrowful
about the loss of a young man's life, even if they weren't involved.

As I was unable to contact the driver,
I made a request to my Facebook friends to help me find him. This
led to a discussion about staring while driving and I posted the
reason why I believed that it was not any action on his part that
caused the death of the young man.

I believe that the young man stared at
the underside of the truck which made him go into a trance that
caused him to drive under the truck, causing the accident that killed
him.

I witnessed the phenomenon first hand
many years ago as a passenger in the front seat of the car that one
of my sons was driving. (A new driver). While passing a trailer
truck the car started veering to the right, towards the underbelly of
the truck. I noticed that he was staring at the truck and not looking at the
road ahead; and appeared as in a trance. I immediately took the
wheel and spoke to him. This got his focus back and he indicated
that he didn't know what had just happened.

Another incident that I wrote about in
one of my police survival articles, is that of a young girl that
drove right into the side of a police car that was parked on the side
of the road. Unfortunately, the female police supervisor was
standing at the driver's door talking to the officer inside the car.
The young girls car peeled the officer off of the cruiser and killed
her. Did the young girl intentionally kill the officer? I don't
believe so. She went into a trance, causing her to veer towards the
cruiser. My article also details on where an officer should position
himself during a motor vehicle stop.

While discussing this phenomenon one of
the bloggers stated that one of the driving instructors told him that
one of the biggest causes of accidents involving young (new) drivers
is staring instead of looking around. And that one of the best ways
to kill yourself is to stare at the white broken lines while driving,
especially while driving in fog.

Driving instructors should teach this
to their young drivers. If they did, we'd have less young people
killing themselves. Looking around instead of staring does not mean
to be a swivel-head, but to merely be looking ahead, a bit to the
sides, seeing any obstacles ahead so to be able to react in time, and
not being fixated on any one object. If an object ahead appears to
pose a danger, then, of course, pay closer attention to it.

Looking – is a physical activity
through the eyes. It doesn't mean much.

Seeing - on the other hand, refers
to the perception of what the eyes are looking at in the brain.
It tells you whether the road ahead is normal or whether there
is danger.

Staring - Is being fixated on only
one object. Staring can lead you into a hypnotic trance that can lead you into a fatal accident.
– DON'T STARE. LOOK and SEE.

Copied this awhile ago, and thought you would find it both interesting and informative. .

A Heart Warming Thought. Here's a thought to warm some of your hearts

... from Ed Chenel, a police officer in Australia

Hi Yanks,

I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in: * Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent ... * Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent .. * Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)! In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.

Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns! While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns ...' You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.

The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note Americans, before it's too late!

Site Owner's Note: Although this was earmarked for America, it is also pertinent to every countries' citizens whose government is attempting to confiscate or have already confiscated their weapons. In some of my other posts, I show where gun confiscation has caused crime to rise and even their own government has killed over 170,000,000 of their citizens during the last century. One point should be made about the rise in crime also. London has instituted, over the past few years, several very strict gun laws as to possession of firearms by its citizens. Their murder rate has now surpassed New York City, which also has some of the strictest gun laws in America. The Liberal/Socialist/Progressive/Marxist government officials in Australia and London are not stupid, as that is their ideology. It is you the citizen, the voter that is stupid. Pardon my error; you are no longer citizens, you are now subjects.
